Strategic Competency and Growth of Aquaculture-Based Small Enterprises in Kenya

Purpose: This study evaluated the role of strategic competency on growth of aquaculture based small enterprises in Kenya. Methodology: The study adopted descriptive research design using mixed methods approach. The target population was 600 fish farmers in Nyeri County, Kenya. The study utilized purposive sampling to select fish farmers within Nyeri County, then cluster sampling to identify fish farmers in their various sub-counties. Simple random sampling was then utilized to select respondents for the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. A pilot study was conducted to test validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Data analysis was done using Statistical package for Social Scientists (SPSS). Regression analysis and chi-square were used to test for significant associations between the dependent and independent variables. The findings were presented in frequency tables, pie charts, bar graphs and scatter diagrams in the final report. Findings: The findings indicated a positive statistically significant relationship on strategic competency and its effect on growth. Further, regression analysis of the results established that strategic competency was found to account for 5.8% of the variation in the growth of aquaculture-based small enterprises in Kenya. 94.2% of variation in the growth of aquaculture based small enterprises in Kenya is explained by other factors outside the model. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Based on the study findings, the sector should sustain government and NGO support by subsidizing input costs, promoting cottage industries, and employing trained extension officers. In addition, the management should facilitate knowledge sharing through farmer excursions and disseminate information on region-specific fish farming techniques. Lastly, it should develop public-private partnerships to coordinate markets and reduce post-harvest losses through a demand-driven approach.

The Association Between Disordered Eating and Musculoskeletal Injury Among Marine Officers Upon Entry to the Basic School.

Active duty service members (ADSMs) may be at heightened risk for eating disorders (EDs) and sub-clinical disordered eating (DE). ADSMs are also at a high risk for musculoskeletal injury (MSK-I). Given the risk for EDs/DE among ADSMs as well as robust physical requirements of military training, additional research is needed to elucidate links between DE and risk for MSK-I among ADSMs. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of DE and associations with MSK-I among Marine Corps officers entering a 6 month leadership course. The current cross-sectional study is part of a large, prospective study, the Initiation of Marine Physiological Assessment of Combat Training (IMPACT) study. Participants completed the Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire Short (EDE-QS) and self-reported the presence of a recent (≤6 months) MSK-I upon entry to an officer training course. A logistic regression was used to assess the association between elevated DE (EDE-QS ≥15) and recent MSK-I, adjusting for age, race, sex, and commissioning source. N = 1,382 officers (11.6% female, MAge: 24.8 ± 2.9 years, 26.6% racial/ethnic minority) completed the questionnaires. Seven percent had elevated DE (EDE-QS score ≥15) (female: 10.6%, male: 6.9%, P = .10); 18.3% self-reported recent MSK-I (female: 26.3%, male: 17.3%; P = .009). Females had 17% greater odds of MSK-I compared to males (aOR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.03-1.33, P = .02). Moreover, females with elevated DE had greater odds of MSK-I than males with elevated DE (aOR= 1.38); among females, odds of MSK-I were greatest among those with elevated DE (aOR= 1.35). In this sample of Marine officers, DE was associated with greater odds of a recent MSK-I among women only. Results align with previously reported relationships between DE and skeletal health in female athletes. Prospective research is needed to elucidate the temporal nature of these relationships.

In addition, during the theoretical study, personal experience in organizing the system of special physical training of military personnel. The research identified key components of readiness to use edged weapons, including psychophysical preparedness, tactical literacy, legal awareness, and moral and ethical stability. Existing approaches to the formation of these competencies in the military education system are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, which provides future officers with the opportunity to adequately assess the situation, make informed and balanced decisions, and act in accordance with legislative norms. The results of the study can be used to improve the educational and training process of future officers in special physical training (tactical and tactical-special training), in particular for the development of specialized training programs aimed at preparing for the performance of assigned tasks in extreme conditions of service and combat activity. Prospects for further research include determining the criteria, levels (components) of forming the readiness of future officers to use "Bladed weapons" in extreme conditions of service and combat activity.

Implementation of Military Onboarding for Medical Students and its Effect on Student Confidence in the Health Professions Scholarship Program.

Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) medical students typically enter the military with minimal military experience, commissioning specifically for the scholarship. During medical school, the only required training is a 5- to 6-week officer training course, which is neither specific to medicine nor guaranteed to be at the beginning of school, since it can be taken at any time. This lack of prior experience can lead to decreased confidence and understanding of the HPSP, specifically the medical school timeline leading up to the military match process and overall military. Our study investigated the effect of implementing a new military-specific orientation module on improving students' confidence and specific knowledge about the HPSP and military training. Two current HPSP students gave a 1-h presentation on the following topics: medical school reimbursements and finances, active duty training, military training, deferrals, the medical school timeline, and the types of medical residencies available associated with the HPSP. The orientation was held for first- and second-year medical students who were either enrolled or interested in the HPSP. The study participants (n = 21) completed a pre- and post-survey that assessed case-based knowledge (12 questions) and students' confidence levels regarding the program (1 question each for the HPSP, overall military, and medical school timeline leading to the residency match). The pre- and post-survey results were analyzed using Fisher's exact test to assess the change in students' confidence and knowledge change after the presentation. The program significantly improved students' confidence in understanding the HPSP (P = .0004), military (P = .003), and medical school timeline leading to the residency match (P = .002). Our study also significantly improved participants' knowledge regarding reimbursements for medical school supplies (P = .041) and board exams (P = .001), active duty definition (P = .039), and deferment because of failure (P = .010) or fellowship (P = .025). Overall, the students felt more confident regarding the HPSP and showed improved knowledge after the orientation program. We found higher baseline knowledge regarding active duty tours, which their coordinators communicate well with HPSP students. Similar orientation programs could effectively improve the onboarding process of incoming HPSP students and those interested in applying for HPSP across multiple medical schools. Such programs can improve long-term student satisfaction and the duration of service following the minimum service commitments. Future research with a larger sample size and prospective design is needed to understand the long-term effects of this increased confidence on overall program satisfaction and military career.

However, strengthening the infrastructure and increasing the capacity of village officials are needed to optimize the operation of the SIM. The implementation of SIM in Sei Mencirim Village has brought positive impacts in the form of increased administrative efficiency and public services. Although there are still challenges such as limited infrastructure and digital literacy, this program can be used as a model for implementing technology in other villages. With the support of the local government, this program is expected to improve community welfare and encourage transparency in village management.

Marching into the Leadership Pipeline: Gender, College Type, and ROTC Participation

The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is the largest single source of military officers in the United States and a major pipeline for Americans to enter military leadership. Although ROTC offers fairly standardized scholarships, curricula, and career paths, the gender composition of ROTC cadets varies substantially across the 323 four-year host campuses. Nine of the 10 ROTC campuses that have the highest percentages of women among their graduating ROTC officers are at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. By contrast, the vast majority of officers graduating from ROTC at senior military colleges such as the Citadel are men.

Sentencing Under The Special Minimum Threat For Small-Scale Drug Traffickers: Challenges And Implications For Justice And Drug Eradication Policy

The imposition of sentences below the minimum penalty specifically for small-scale drug dealers has become an important debate in the context of criminal justice. This study aims to analyze the practice of judicial independence in small-scale drug trafficking cases and identify the challenges and implications for substantive justice and drug eradication policy in Indonesia. The method used in this study is comparative normative juridical, this research analyses the applicable legal rules in Indonesia and compares them with practices in several other countries. The results show that the application of sentences below the special minimum threat has a significant influence on drug eradication policies, but also raises dilemmas related to justice for offenders with a small role. Comparatively, practices in other countries show a more flexible approach, which integrates restorative justice and rehabilitation principles. This study recommends the revision of legal policies in Indonesia by adopting a more proportional approach, as well as improved training of law enforcement officers to ensure fair and consistent application. This research is expected to contribute to the formation of a more effective, humane, and equitable drug policy.

Implementation of Restorative Justice Policy Narcotics Crime in the Police in the East Kalimantan Police Area

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Restorative Justice policy in the Handling of Narcotics Crimes in the Police in the East Kalimantan Regional Police. Qualitative descriptive research method. A total of 10 informants were determined purpossively, namely the Head of the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Balikpapan City, the Head of the Balikpapan Police Narcotics Investigation Unit and the Kutai Kartanegara Police, the Head of the Tanah Merah Samarinda BNN Rehabilitation Center, the Head of Medicine and Health of the East Kalimantan Police; Chairman of the Balikpapan City Legal Aid and Public Policy Studies Institute and addicts undergoing rehabilitation in Balikpapan City, plus observation and documentation. Data analysis includes collection, condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the implementation of National Police Regulation Number 8 of 2021 concerning the Handling of Crimes Based on Restorative Justice in narcotics crimes in the East Kalimantan Police has not been effective. In terms of communication, it has shown success with effective policy transmission and clarity through various media and forums, but challenges in consistency of socialization and approach to vulnerable communities still need to be overcome. In terms of resources, there is a shortage of experts, limited rehabilitation facilities, and inadequate budget support. The disposition aspect shows a positive attitude from the implementers, although the involvement of local governments needs to be increased. The bureaucratic structure has been organized with clear SOPs, but the complexity of administrative procedures needs to be simplified to improve program accessibility. The study suggests that implementers increase the effectiveness of policies, such as additional training for law enforcement officials, and the opening of new rehabilitation facilities to reach vulnerable communities. The findings of the research have implications for policy makers, law enforcement, and the public, namely helping to overcome the narcotics problem in a more humane and effective way, in this case in the East Kalimantan Regional Police area.

Perbedaan Angka Kebersihan Gigi dan Mulut (HI) Anak Umur 12 Tahun yang Menyikat Gigi dengan Teknik Kombinasi Fone’s Horizontal dan Roll Horizontal di SDN 06 dan 21 Taluak IV Suku

Dental caries is the most common oral health problem experienced by the public, with plaque being the main cause. Brushing teeth is an effective method for removing plaque, where the brushing technique plays a crucial role in oral hygiene. Elementary Schools (SDN) 06 and 21 Taluak IV Suku regularly receive visits from the local health center every six months for dental check-ups. SDN 06 has never conducted a mass tooth brushing activity, while SDN 21 does it routinely every Wednesday, guided by trained student health officers. Preliminary studies showed that 60% of the children from both schools brush their teeth once a day using a horizontal technique. This study aims to compare the oral hygiene of 12-year-old children who use the combination of Fone’s-horizontal technique and the combination of roll-horizontal technique. The research design is a quasi-experimental study with pretest and posttest. The population consisted of 50 children, with 48 samples taken using the saturated sampling technique. Dental hygiene was measured using the Hygiene Index, and data were analyzed using the independent t-test (α < 0.05). The results showed an average improvement of 16% for the Fone’s-horizontal technique and 36% for the roll-horizontal technique, with a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05). In conclusion, the roll-horizontal combination technique is more effective, and children are advised to brush their teeth using this technique twice a day to prevent dental and oral diseases.

PENEGAKAN HUKUM TERHADAP PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA PENYELUDUPAN MANUSIA DARI DAN LUAR INDONESIA

Immigration in Indonesia is regulated by Law Number 6 of 2011 on Immigration, which replaced the previous immigration law, Law Number 9 of 1992. The law states that anyone who enters or exits Indonesia without undergoing immigration inspection, or without valid travel documents or visas, will be subject to criminal sanctions. The legal foundation for human trafficking offenses is also outlined in Law Number 18 of 2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. Immigration matters are closely related to the movement of people across international borders, which has increased in the era of globalization and free trade, and has now become a concern for countries around the world, including Indonesia. Smuggling, which involves trafficking people for exploitation or physical and psychological abuse, is a violation of human dignity. The method used in this research is sociological legal research. Based on the results, it is known that law enforcement at the Bengkalis Immigration Checkpoint Office (TPI) is in accordance with the provisions set out in the Immigration Law. However, challenges remain, such as limited human resources, inadequate infrastructure, and suboptimal coordination between agencies. Handling human trafficking requires active involvement from various parties, including the police, customs, and other related agencies, to strengthen oversight and prevent this transnational crime. This research concludes that to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement, there needs to be enhanced training for officers, improvement of inspection facilities and infrastructure, and strengthened cooperation between agencies involved in the prevention and prosecution of human trafficking. Additionally, a broader socialization to the public regarding the dangers and impacts of human trafficking should also be conducted to strengthen preventive efforts.

Analysis of Public Trust Factors in Zakat Distribution Institutions (Case Study at Lazismu North Labuhanbatu)

As a religion that encompasses various aspects of life, Islam not only touches on the personal dimensions of worship but also on social and economic domains. Zakat represents one of the pillars of Islam with a social character. Every Muslim is obligated to pay zakat on certain assets that are eligible for zakat when these assets reach a specific threshold (nishab) and time period (haul). In Indonesia, there are many legally recognized zakat management organizations that distribute zakat from the community, one of which is the Lembaga Amil Zakat Infaq dan Sadaqah Muhammadiyah (LAZISMU), which is spread throughout Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using observation and in-depth interviews with administrators and local communities from various professions. The study aims to analyze the factors that influence public trust in LAZISMU in Labuhanbatu Utara, North Sumatra. The results show that there are at least five factors that drive public trust in LAZISMU Labuhanbatu Utara, namely: (1) Data transparency, (2) The prominent reputation of the organization, (3) Ease of paying zakat through LAZISMU, (4) The friendliness of the zakat officers, and (5) Various social contributions of the organization to the community. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of data transparency, the development of technology-based services, zakat officer training, and relevant social programs as strategies to build and maintain public trust. These measures can be implemented by LAZISMU and other zakat institutions to enhance effectiveness and gaining more public trust.

The accuracy of determining topographic data for targets, calculating corrections for deviations from standard firing conditions, and determining fire settings for various artillery systems with standard ammunition was also checked. The possibilities of using this computer range for performing individual fire missions on simulation tools were evaluated. A comprehensive analysis of this software product's capabilities for use in the training of cadets and officers of artillery units was performed. Based on the analysis results, the primary training areas in which the "Kanonir" product is appropriate to use were identified. The results of a pedagogical experiment conducted using the "Kanonir" product in the training of cadets in the "Shooting and Fire Control" course were presented. Additionally, practical recommendations were provided for preparing, setting up, using, and, overall, improving the effectiveness of this software in the training of cadets and artillery officers.

Legal Protection for Victims of Online Gender-Based Violence (Cyber-Based Violence)

Online gender-based violence is a serious problem that negatively impacts victims physically, psychologically and socially. This research aims to analyze the legal protection of victims of cyber-based violence in Indonesia, focusing on existing regulations and their implementation. The method used in this research is a normative research method with a juridical-analytical approach, where data is collected through a literature study of relevant laws and regulations, legal documents, and previous research related to online gender-based violence. The results show that Law No. 12 of 2022 on the Crime of Sexual Violence provides a strong legal basis for victim protection, including the right to assistance, temporary protection, and recovery. In addition, regulations regarding the removal of content involving victims are an important step in reducing further impact. However, this research also found challenges in law enforcement, public awareness, and training of law enforcement officers that need to be strengthened in order for victim protection to be implemented effectively. This research is expected to contribute to improving the understanding and effectiveness of legal protection for victims of online gender-based violence in Indonesia.

Project Double Barrel: Crime Rate and Experiences of the Implementers in the Municipality of Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay

This study aimed to determine the crime rate in the Municipality of Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay in the calendar years 2013-2015 and 2016-2018. Specifically, this study described the index and non-index crimes prior to and during the implementation of the project double barrel and whether significant differences existed on the crime profiles prior to and during the project. It also aimed to identify the experiences encountered by the imple-menters of the project under CMC 16 2. 2016. Archived data were taken from police blotters and crime statistics given by the PNP Personnel in Diplahan Police Station and employed the qualita-tive design using in-depth interview to generate and explore the experiences of the PNP Personnel and Barangay Captains before and during the implementation of the project. Thematic analysis was then applied to generate codes and themes that described the experiences of the participant-interviewees. Findings re-vealed the decrease in index crimes, which include serious of-fenses like murder, theft, and robbery, suggests an improvement in public safety. The heightened police presence and visibility likely acted as a deterrent to violent and property crimes, con-tributing to a more secure environment in public areas. There is a need for a multifaceted approach to improving law enforce-ment's effectiveness and ethical standards in addressing drug-related crimes. Integration of advanced technologies and en-hanced coordination among agencies to improve operations and monitoring capabilities and collaboration with external organi-zations focuses on rehabilitation and prevention, while inde-pendent oversight mechanisms and regular reviews are also needed to ensure accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement of policies and drug related operations. Stronger collaboration between police, local governments, NGOs, and health organizations is also necessary to reinforce community-based rehabilitation efforts and preventive measures. Providing mental health support for officers is equally important, as it im-proves their well-being, reduces burnout, and fosters ethical de-cision-making under high-pressure situations. Comprehensive training for officers is vital to prepare them for the complexities of the drug campaign, improving operational effectiveness and promoting accountability within the force.

Evaluasi Kebijakan Penurunan Stunting di Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi

This study analyzes the evaluation of stunting reduction policies in Kuantan Singingi Regency, Indonesia, using William N. Dunn's policy evaluation theory. Stunting is a serious nutritional problem that impacts children's growth and development, especially in the first 1000 days of life. Although there has been a decrease in stunting prevalence in Riau Province, Kuantan Singingi Regency experienced an increase in stunting rates from 17.8% in 2022 to 23% in 2023, making it the highest in the province. The evaluation was conducted based on five criteria: effectiveness, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results showed that despite significant efforts in policy implementation, the target for reducing stunting prevalence has not been achieved, with communication between officers and the community still lacking. There is a shortage of skilled personnel and funds, and unequal access to health services. The policy provides a clear framework, but information about the program is still lacking in the community. The assumptions underlying the policy are quite strong, and positive impacts are starting to be seen, but challenges such as lack of training for officers remain. Overall, despite progress, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed to achieve the goal of reducing stunting effectively.
